Flute begins by playing this classic melody alone. Soon, the cello adds interest with beautiful counter melodies as the marimba provides rhythmic drive. The piece begins very softly and then soars to a climactic finish. Christmas Music, Christmas Ensemble

A flowing rendition of the familiar classic by Schubert. The flute performs the beautiful melody, the cello adds depth and passion in the countermelodies, and the marimba provides the gentle harmonies. Instrumental, Christmas Music, Christmas Ensemble, Franz Schubert

Marimba starts this beautiful arrangement in a chorale style. The flute enters with a simple melody and gradually ornaments more and more as the piece unfolds until the end. Instrumental, Christmas Music, Christmas Ensemble

This fresh arrangement begins and ends with a gorgeous flute solo. The marimba provides a simple accompaniment in the middle section. Listen to the serene feel of this arrangement and feel the Christmas spirit. Instrumental, Christmas Music, Christmas Ensemble

Deck the Halls like you have not heard before. This new arrangement has a hot, Latin feel. The steel drum and marimba will want to get your feet moving. Bass and drums provide a great groove while the flute performs the classic melody with a new twist. Instrumental, Christmas Music, Christmas Ensemble
